In the most frustrating baseball controversy of the
year, Texas Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis criticized Toronto
Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus for getting a hit off him in
the fifth inning of Saturday's game.

The Rangers were playing a "shift" against Rasmus — meaning there
were three players on the right side of the infield and just one
on the left side of the infield — so Rasmus smartly laid down a
bunt toward third base and got a hit.

Lewis said after the game that bunting against a shift is
unethical (via
MLB.com):

"I told [Rasmus] I didn't appreciate it. You're up by two runs
with two outs and you lay down a bunt. I don't think that's the
way the game should be played."

"I felt like you have a situation where there is two outs, you're
up two runs, you have gotten a hit earlier in the game off me, we
are playing the shift, and he laid down a bunt basically simply
for average."

It takes the "unwritten rules" thing to an absurd extreme. The
shift is designed to make it harder to get a hit. Rasmus
identified a flaw in the shift — namely, there's only one
guy between second and third base — a took advantage of it. It's
like leaving a basketball player wide-open on purpose, and then
criticizing him for making a lay-up.
